《最后生还者》第二季的结局引发了观众对剧情的诸多疑问，其中Abby在闪回场景中阅读的书籍引起了关注。本文探讨了Abby所读书籍的细节，揭示了其与游戏创作灵感的联系。通过分析书籍的标题和作者，以及游戏总监的解读，文章深入探讨了该书籍对剧情和角色塑造的意义，并揭示了其在游戏和剧集中的重要性。

📚 Abby在《最后生还者》第二季结局的闪回场景中阅读了一本名为《Thieves of the City》的书籍。

🔍 这本书实际上是虚构的，但与David Benioff于2008年出版的《City of Thieves》非常相似。

💡 游戏创作者Neil Druckmann曾表示，《City of Thieves》是《最后生还者》的灵感来源之一，讲述了二战期间在列宁格勒的两位幸存者的故事。

🎮 这本书也出现在游戏《最后生还者第二部》中，Abby在类似的场景中阅读它，只是书名和作者略有改动。

The Last of Us Season 2 is over, and the series finale left us with more questions than answers.

But along with wondering whether or not Ellie (Bella Ramsey) will survive, or what Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and her crew were planning before they got interrupted, there's also a much smaller mystery: Given that The Last of Us is a show filled with Easter eggs, what's the deal with the book Abby is reading in the flashback at the very end?

What book is Abby reading at the end of the finale?

After the dramatic cliffhanger in the present day we rewind three days earlier to "Seattle: Day One", where Abby is lying on a sofa in the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) base with an open book on her chest.

The title of this book is Thieves of the City by Ben Davidoff. A quick Google shows that it isn't a real book, but there is a very similar title out there: City of Thieves by David Benioff (yep, one of the Game of Thrones showrunners), a coming-of-age historical fiction book published in 2008.

What's the meaning behind Abby's book?

Fortunately, the answer to this one has already been provided by the game's creator, Neil Druckmann, when he was asked about his inspiration for The Last of Us game back in 2013.

"There’s a book called City of Thieves, which is historical fiction," Druckmann told VentureBeat. "It explores the journey of these two survivors in Leningrad during World War II, while the city was under siege. They’re going to look for food and they run into cannibals and all these other horrible people, but there’s still humor in it. These two characters who hate each other form a bond. That was handled very well."

The book was even included in the second game, The Last of Us Part II, with Abby seen reading it in a very similar scene to the one shown in the Season 2 finale. The only difference? They tweaked the title and the author name ever so slightly.

New episodes of The Last of Us Season 2 premiere on HBO and HBO Max Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
